"SHIT!" i yelled

I ran fast as I could to the airlock to the ship. I went to grab my helmet.

"Their purging the ship!" my brother yelled.

"I KNOW!" i yelled over the sirens

We made our way quickly to the shuttle and shut the door. We tried countless times to start up the shuttle. It was just a waist of time. As soon as they started we only had less than a half hour of air left.

"Shepard. Give it up. You wont make it out." we heard someone say.

"Who the hell are you?!" I asked

The door flew open and we saw someone we would have never expected to see.

"What are you?" I asked

"Just a clone of you. Only perfected. You're useless now. So I'm here to take over. I'll also be taking your ship. Oh! I should go." she took the last shuttle off the ship.

She closed the shuttle door and we were left on the ship to die. How on earth would we get off this ship?

"Do I really sound like that?" i asked

"Commander we're stuck on the ship and about to die!" Kaiden said

"Guys, c'mon i open to criticism!" i said

"COMMANDER!" James yelled

"I should, go, I should go." i said to myself

"COMMANDER!!!!" the three of them yelled

"Oh right! GLYPH?!" I yelled for liaras Information bot

"At your service, commander" he said

"Send a message to Joker to get a shuttle and come get us." I said

"Yes, Commander." he said

We got back to the ship and the airlocks were sealed. We landed the shuttle in the shuttle bay. It was empty and too quiet. We made our way up to the CIC and the elevator was surrounded with soldiers of some kind.

"What the hell?" the clone said

"Miss me?" i said

"I thought i left you to die." she said

"I dont die that easily." I responded

"Execute her." she said and ran off.

"DONT TOUCH MY SHIP CONTROLS!" Joker yelled

We shot and killed the mercs and went after the clone. We saw her run towards the cockpit but didnt see her.

"Where the hell is she?" i asked

I felt and arm wrap around my neck and pull me back. I was knocked out and she posed as me.

"GUYS! I FOUND HER!" she said pointing her gun at my head

"You bitch." I said

"Why? Why invade my ship?" she said

"YOUR SHIP?! You guys really believe that she's me?" I asked standing up and steadying myself.

"Uhm.." they said

"Garrus its me." she said and kissed him

I was steaming mad. I grabbed her hair and slammed her into the floor. I stepped on her chest and pulled my gun.

"No one touches my Vakarian." I said and shot her

"Holy shit." James said

"Wait where's EDI?" I asked

"She's offline." Joker said

"Joker.." I said

Liara stepped in and pressed a few buttons and turned a few knobs. We heard her power up and waited to see if it would actually work.

"EDI, speak to me." I said

"What topic would you like to discuss, Shepard" she said

"EDI!" i said and hugged her

"Commander?"I heard a familiar voice say.

"Why the hell are you here?" I asked

"Commander, i have to admit yes, its my fault, but i didn't expect her to wake up!!" she said

"Miranda, i think this may be the only way I can say this. SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!" I yelled

I could see it in her face. She was mad. She either wanted to fight back or shoot me in the head. I didnt care. I told James and Kaiden to escort her back to her own ship. I was extremely upset. I didnt want to see the clones body. As soon as James got back I asked him to help me space the body. I went down to the forward batterbies and found that the door was locked. I didnt want to disturb Garrus so I went up to my cabin and found my favorit black dress on my bed and my lights were dimmed.

"What the hell?" I smirked

I grabbed my dress and found a note underneath.

Put this in with your black heels and come down to the mess. I have a surprise.

-Garrus

I was confused. I slipped into my dress and put on my favorite strapy high heels and made my way down.

"Well dont you look gorgeous. As always." he said

"You dont look to bad yourself." I said

I slipped into one of the chiars and waited for Garrus to join me. We sat and talked for a good 20 minutes or so.

"Shep- Nyx, can I tell you something?" he asked

"Yeah, anything." I said

"I didnt mean to sound like i didnt believe it was you before. It was just really confusing." he said

"Dont worry about it." i said

My omni-tool was lighting up. I was getting a transmission. I excused my-self rom the table and went by the elevator.

"Commander Shepard here." I said

"Shepard, I'm ordering you to put the normady in dry dock on the CItadel. She's in need of bit of reparing and you and your crew deserve a little shore leave." Hackett said

"Sir, you dont understand how much my crew will appreciate this." I said

I went to tell Garrus but he had already heard. We went up to the bridge and told Joker to bring the Normandy into dry dock on the CItadel. I made my way to an apartment that had been given to me by Anderson. I walked in and found a waiting transmission for me.

"Sir, I really appreciate this. You didnt have to do this." I said

"Sir? What am I your boyfriends father?" he joked

"Sorry, Dave." i joked back

"Enjoy it shepard. I cant use it anymore. So make yourself at home dammit." he laughed

I let everyone in and took out all the different types of alcohol that was in the bar. I also turned up the music and put out food. It wasnt too much later when I heard a knock at the door.

"John!" I hugged him

"Hey kiddo! I made reservations at our fav sushi place here. For you me Tali and Garrus." he said.

"Really? Its so hard to make reservations there." i said

"Yeah but with my stunning good looks and my luck they had an opening for tonight." he said

I told Garrus and Tali and we all got changed as quickly as possible. We made our way to the restaurant.
